So I went this morning to open one of my many CAG finds as I wanted to play something:

Blazing Angels 2 - Secret Missions of WWII

I bought this about 3-4 months ago from Target or TRU in one of the many markdowns and inside the case was a fucking CD-R lol. The CD-R is stamped with an odd US flag looking graphic, not a sticker, but like an imprint.

The case was sealed and had the Microsoft seal thingy on the spine and it wasnt like a re-seal type of thing but factory with the folds in the corners of the plastic etc. Not like a resealed thing with heat gun.

Im pretty stunned at this. I can't return it as I dont have the receipt but Im wondering if this was a rampant thing. I put it in the 360 and it says "mixed media disc" so Im about to pop it into the PC and see whats on it.

Its a loss, but never had anything happen like this before.

edit: I put it in the PC and these are the files that are on it:

j2sdk-1_4_2_07-linux-i586.bin
j2sdk-1_4_2_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Both are about 30 megs lol.

Nice, you've scored yourself an old version of the Java Standard Dev kit there chief.

Someone obviously did a good job of taking out the disk and re-sealing it.

if someone put the effort to doing that much work they should at least pick a better game

This does happen occasionally, I assume someone bought the game months ago, stole the disk and returned it. Occasionally someone posts a similar story on here.

If you're gonna go through all that trouble, then why even burn something onto the CD?
